CPUPOWER-IDLE-SET(1)            cpupower Manual           CPUPOWER-IDLE-SET(1)

NAME
       cpupower  idle-set  -  Utility  to  set  cpu idle state specific kernel
       options
SYNTAX
       cpupower [ -c cpulist ] idle-info [options]
DESCRIPTION
       The cpupower idle-set subcommand allows to set cpu  idle,  also  called
       cpu sleep state, specific options offered by the kernel. One example is
       disabling sleep states. This can be handy for power vs performance tun-
       ing.
OPTIONS
       -d --disable <STATE_NO>
              Disable a specific processor sleep state.
       -e --enable <STATE_NO>
              Enable a specific processor sleep state.
       -D --disable-by-latency <LATENCY>
              Disable  all  idle  states  with  a equal or higher latency than
              <LATENCY>.
              Enable all idle states with a latency lower than <LATENCY>.
       -E --enable-all
              Enable all idle states if not enabled already.

REMARKS
       Cpuidle Governors Policy on Disabling Sleep States
           Depending on the used  cpuidle governor,  implementing  the  kernel
           policy  how to choose sleep states, subsequent sleep states on this
           core, might get disabled as well.
           There are two cpuidle governors ladder and menu. While  the  ladder
           governor  is  always available, if CONFIG_CPU_IDLE is selected, the
           menu governor additionally requires CONFIG_NO_HZ.
           The behavior and the effect of the disable variable depends on  the
           implementation  of  a  particular governor. In the ladder governor,
           for example, it is not coherent, i.e. if one is disabling  a  light
           state,  then  all  deeper states are disabled as well. Likewise, if
           one enables a deep state but a lighter  state  still  is  disabled,
           then this has no effect.
       Disabling the Lightest Sleep State may not have any Affect
           If criteria are not met to enter deeper sleep states and the light-
           est sleep state is chosen when idle, the  kernel  may  still  enter
           this  sleep  state,  irrespective of whether it is disabled or not.
           This is also reflected in the usage count  of  the  disabled  sleep
           state when using the cpupower idle-info command.
       Selecting specific CPU Cores
           By  default processor sleep states of all CPU cores are set. Please
           refer to the cpupower(1) manpage in the --cpu option section how to
           disable C-states of specific cores.
